Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Summary of disclosure exemptions

The company has taken advantage of the exemptions available under FRS102 Section 1A not to disclose transactions with related parties performed under normal market conditions. The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 102 chapter 33 “Related Party Disclosure” and has not disclosed transactions with wholly owned group undertakings or wholly owned indirectly by the ultimate controlling party.

Going concern

At the balance sheet date, the company had net liabilities of £975,602 (2023 - £970,502). The existence of net liabilities can indicate a risk of not being able to meet liabilities as they fall due. The company is supported by its parent company, Suflex Limited, which has agreed to provide continued support for at least a period of 12 months following the date of approval of these financial statements. The Board is satisfied that the support of the parent company will enable the company to meet its obligations as they fall due. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors, and
• Cash and bank balances.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
